Alexy
Futuristic braids. Gentle hands. Raleigh-rooted care.
Private braid studio in Southeast Raleigh specializing in knotless braids, boho braids, locs, twists, and kids’ styles — low-tension techniques from 35+ years of experience, built for Triangle life.
Meet Alexy
Thirty-five years of hands in hair. Heart still in Raleigh.
Before the skyline changed, before the breweries and rooftop bars, there was a braider on the block making sure everyone stayed neat. That braider was Alexy — and today her private studio blends that same warmth with a modern, low-tension approach to knotless braids, boho braids, locs, and twists.
Specializing in African American hair, she’s known for clean parts, gentle hands, and styles that still look good three weeks in — built for RTP workdays, Raleigh nights out, and everyday Triangle life.
“Healthy hair is my baseline. The style is where we play — futuristic shapes, soft glam, triangle-proof wear.”
